While you don’t necessarily need an attorney in every legal matter (i.e. a minor traffic ticket), there a few situations when it’s in your best interest to hire a lawyer. Probably the best reason to hire an attorney is if you’ve been charged with a crime.

I called on Mr. Kent to inquire about defending my son who had been charged with assault on a minor, which to our mind was a great overstatement for a family scuffle. The name of the charge makes it sound horrible. At our first meeting Jeff put it in perspective, and was able to speak with my son in a calm reassuring but realistic manner, and best of all, to listen attentively and with great understanding. This went a long way to give us confidence. Further, his follow through with the details of the case and reduction of the charge to simple battery was most gratifying. We found Mr. Kent to be very professional, knowledgeable, a great listener and negotiator. It is without hesitation that I highly recommend The Kent Law Firm.

Jeff completed my case with the charges being dismissed and my arrest reduced to a detainment only. He accomplished all of this without me ever setting foot inside a court room and without additional cost beyond the retainer fee. He also assisted by brother in other actions all with favorable results.

Jeff worked hard and to get my granddaughter the best deal possible. She was in serious trouble and very emotional the first time that she talked to Jeff. Jeff was very patient with her and gave her excellent advice. There was no way that she was NOT going to prison, but Jeff did his best to keep her calm while keeping her family informed. In the end, Jeff was able to get her sentence reduced to 12 years, opposed to the life sentence that appeared to be in her future. I hope that our family never needs a lawyer again, but if we do we will definitely call Jeff.

Long story short, got a dui over 0.25. It was one of the worst mistakes and I was panicking I was going to jail. Jeff Kent is extremely easy to talk too and he assured me to keep calm. In the end he worked his magic and I got no jail time, with a detailed list of what I must do. I was required to do 80hours of community service but I needed two more days. I asked him if there was anything I could do, and he was able to give me an extension. He saved me twice! I have nothing but praise for him! Thank you! Highly recommend. 10/10

Jeff came through for me big time. Things could have gone a completely different dirrection for me had I not retained his services. I was on probation for an incident that took place nearly 5 years ago, and because of that I could have been in some serious trouble after being involved in a minor incident which violated that probation agreement. After many months of uncertainty Jeff was eventually able to get the case dismissed as well as the probation violation. He could have easily tried to reach a plea agreement and be done with my case, but instead he fought for me for nearly a year, and in the end he was able to get me the best possible result we had initialy hoped for.
Great Work!

I had never got into trouble with the law before, so when I learned that I was charged with a crime, I was scared and devastated. After spending days researching and talking to many attorneys, I decided to hire Jeff as my attorney. This turned out to be one of the best decisions I have made in my life. Throughout the entire case, Jeff made himself available whenever I needed and answered my endless questions patiently and thoroughly. He appeared with me on numerous court days through which he demonstrated great rapport and skills before the judges, prosecutors and other court officers. In the end, Jeff was able to get my case dismissed! Being able to find and retain an experienced attorney who can attain the best outcome of a case requires a lot of luck. When that attorney also happens to be a highly responsive, attentive and compassionate person, it is quite something. I feel truly privileged to have had Jeff work on my side and I wholeheartedly recommend him to anyone needing the service of a criminal defense attorney of the highest caliber.
